***2023 Contest Smack-talk and General Banter Thread***

I guess it all depends on how many sign ups we have … if we only end up with 8 teams vs 11 - 15 … I don’t know.. let’s see what we end up with I guess

I like larger teams better chance of someone carrying my ass. Just my 2cents.

 

dwindling numbers is for sure something I’ve noticed as well.

 

I'd almost rather have fewer team, but hard to say.

Speaking for myself, I've had some really fun teams over the years.
From my observation, most teams will start strong and post on their team thread (encouragement).
By mid_contest, it starts waning. Near the end, only a handful even check in.

Last year's contest was a deal breaker for me. A few of us tried hard, had a great team thread going and a few members just went "Poof".

I even tried sending p.ms to a few members to see if they could at least shoot a doe. (We were real close).
Nary a response.

I know it's for fun but come on...
If your gonna sign up to be on a team..., be a part of that team, to the end!
Every year there seems to be a few teams with just a few pages in their team threads.
I'll miss having great guys on my team weather they are great/good/average/ poor hunters but just check in and communicate often.
Even if for some reason you can't get out and hunt, check in and share in the banter.

Hell, Johnny (LC) is usually only good for maybe 150 pnts annually., he give it his all.


I'm not seeing any of our Lady hunters sign up yet?,
Some stone cold killers!. Ladies, where art thou?

 

I'm currently trying to get 2 friends of mine to join the forum and possibly my niece, who kills deer on the regular. I think we are all going to have to recruit people to come here and participate, not just in the contest. I wish someone I knew pointed me here years before I found it on my own.

 

It seems like the bowhunting league on facebook got really popular the past few years. Could be losing people to that. I’m not here for the prizes, just the sh!t talking and comradery. I sat last year out due to building our house and living in a camper for 20 months. (I highly do not suggest the camper life).

 

I just want everyone to have fun and win except the people not on my team!

LC you’re going to make the team draw nice and fair like you did 3 years ago right?

Pretty sure LC accepts PayPal or venmo, if you want 'fair teams'..

 

This makes my heart happy. I know this is a bow hunting site. Working on a killer.

 

Sorry I missed this post! I appreciate it brother!

Same wife, lol! I'ts not perfect by any means, but what in life ever is? I'd rather stay with the devil I know as opposed to a devil I don't know.

I can't even imagine the energy/work it takes to start over with someone new with the ..."I'm a queen" attitude. Screw that! LOL!

 

I was really afraid it was something like that. Thanks for the update and I look forward to his return, bet or no bet.

 

Collectively us vets need to intervene when folks hound him or ask about it - PM quietly and encourage comment editing.

 

I’m sorry to hear that! This place is a good get away, Be glad to have @Heckler back on board.

 

Thanks for the update Johnny! Sending the most positive vibes and well wishes his way. I look forward to seeing him on here again soon.

I remember back in the day a bunch of us were "friends" on FB, not sure if that is still a thing or not, might help out in dire times or when one of our boys falls silent on the forums.

 

That is how my boys learned to shoot before I put a .22 and .243 in their hands. My oldest is close to being able to pull enough draw weight to hunt, hopefully by the end of this season. My younger two are still a few years away from bowhunting. But, they have bows and are learning.

 

I hate that he had to endure something horrific in his life. But, I will be glad to see his return.

 

Seems like traffic here is picking up a bit. Love it.
